So....has anyone actually tested this gear yet?

I've used the gear a bit. It works nicely as heirloom gear. I would recommend a bit of a buff on the amount of health/energy it gives. It isn't really enough during a battle. I feel like there should be just a bit more ticks or the ticks should be larger. The offense it gives during battle could also use a moderate increase, but depending on your build/specs it might be helpful or barely noticeable.

It preforms well enough. I'm sure it isn't the first thing I'd spend my rec on, but it seems really nice for a player who is just planning to retcon once they hit 40 and isn't really worried about gear. I'm not sure about the 15% to resources though. I mean... I don't think a player who has gotten far enough in the game they are able to get this kind of gear really is going to need +15% to resources from enemies. I would prefer it was a bonus to defense or something, but it already has a bonus to AoE resist.

Side note: It would be much better if there was just a "New Gears" thread

I saw that the utility pieces are in the Q store and that Drifter has the defense pieces, but does anyone know where the offense pieces can be acquired, other than the debugger?

Yeah, how will this stuff be acquired?
If any is from SCR/GCR, then I don't see it being a big seller, seeing that it would compete with so many other things.

I agree. By the time you acquire the currency to buy it, you'll be at a level where you won't need it. Sort of like Nemesis gear in that regard. However, if account bound it would be great for alts. Again, like Nemesis gear.​​

Two pieces are purchased through the Z-Store (the offensive slot), two pieces are 100,00 each from the Q store, and the last two are 50 drifter salvage.

Is the Offensive Aurum Gear still available? I have the Defensive and Utility gear from the Drifter and the Z-Store, but the remaining pieces are nowhere to be found!
